• In 2010, North Carolina joined 43 other states in adopting the Common Core State Standards (CCSS), which define what students need to know and be

able to do at each grade level to graduate ready for college and careers.

• North Carolina public school students are required to meet a higher standard of proficiency on their End-of-Grade (EOG) and End-of-Course (EOC) tests.

• The demands of the assessments and the scores required to reach proficiency are now at a higher level.

• Higher standards are a good thing—they are more challenging and focus on how students can apply the information they learn rather than simply memorizing the information.

A Brief Look Back

• Frequently, when state tests change, scores drop dramatically.

• In 2012-13, North Carolina experienced these decreases.

• North Carolina is not alone in this transition. Other states, including New York, Kentucky, Tennessee, and Florida administered Common Core–aligned assessments and each state experienced substantial drops in proficiency in the first year of administration.

• The NC State Legislature is reviewing the future of Common Core, but the commitment to the rigor that CCSS were intended to provide remains

Schools Meeting or Exceeding Expected Growth:2012-13 & 2013-14

24

• School Growth is an indication of the average rate at which students in a school learned over the past year.

• The standard is roughly equivalent to a year’s worth of expected growth for a year of instruction.

• The growth measure is defined in one of three ways: did not meet expected growth; met expected growth; or exceeded expected growth.

• CMS has improved in performance on nearly every EOG and EOC subject tested, although reading is still a concern in several grades.

• CMS has outperformed the state average in virtually every EOG and EOC subject tested for the second year in a row.

• All subgroups of students made progress from 2012-13 to 2013-14.

• Nearly 83% of our schools are meeting or exceeding growth expectations.

Action Moving Forward:2014-15 and Beyond

28

The Work AheadStrategic Plan 2018: For a Better Tomorrow focuses on raising academic achievement:

• Academic growth and high academic achievement– Bring to scale a dynamic teaching and learning framework that ensures high-quality

instruction– Closely monitor academic progress, with a priority focus on subgroups– Focus on transition years for reading instruction

• Individualize professional development

– Expand the capacity of professional learning communities to accelerate student achievement and eliminate achievement gaps

– Build the capacity of teachers to use alternative teaching methods

• Strategic use of district resources – Strengthen alignment of central and school-based resources to maximize student support– Enhance the quality and effective use of instructional and non-instructional resources– Expand use of data as part of continuous improvement efforts
